So what was your first fighting game?

[WareEaglesDare]

Boxing for Atari. There was a joy stick and a button, a top down of two person looking things with huge fists, and if you got the opponent against the wall and kept hitting the button he would bounce back and forth between your fists with no chance to survive (make your time) for what I will declare the first "infinite combo".

On the topid of nostalgic games anyone remember Chaos where you could kill / eat the little cave men while you were fighting? How about Mace: The Dark Ages?

I think for me it was also SF2, but I never really got elite at it. Mortal Kombat 1 was my first fighting game addiction.

for me Mortal Kombat was a - let me beat you so I can do my fatality.

SF2 for me ... and religiously

First serious games -- Super Turbo (which I blow at), then CVS2 (which I pwn at), and SC2 (which I whore NM at)

God I love fighting games ...

Hate to be generic but my first was also SF2, Championship Edition for the Sega Genesis. I liked fighting games ever since then.

Reminds me of the time I got scolded by my mother for winning all the time against my brother when we were younger.
